Stetson beat visiting Siena 11-1 and 5-4 to finish off a three-game sweep on Sunday.Taylor Cockrell pitched a complete game and struck out 10 in the first game, before the Hatters (5-11) had to rally in the nightcap.“Hit-wise and run production-wise it was the best weekend of the year,” said Stetson coach Pete Dunn. “It could have been even more productive, but we left a lot of guys on.”Cockrell (1-2), a freshman right-hander, scattered five hits and walked just one batter in pitching his first career complete game. He needed just 106 pitches to subdue the Saints.“He was nails,” Dunn said. “He and Mitchell Jordan are two awfully good freshman. That's what we expect out of Taylor. He came into our program as more of a thrower, but he's becoming a pitcher now.”Josh Powers had three hits and three RBIs in the opener. Kevin Fagan went 3 for 5 with four runs scored.In the second game, Fagan and Kyle Zech each had three hits.
